A woman who was charged after an attempted armed robbery at a Prince Albert business has been granted bail.

Brittany McKay was one of two people arrested. The 29-year-old appeared Wednesday at Prince Albert Provincial Court.

In the early evening hours of Sept. 14, police received a weapons complaint and responded to the 3500 Block of Second Ave W.

When they got to the business, they found one woman with a gun had been detained by witnesses. A second suspect fled on foot.

McKay was later charged with robbery with a gun, wearing a facemask while committing an indictable offence, breach of court order conditions and several other gun charges. She is scheduled to make her next court appearance on Oct. 25.
